dask-contrib
Does this / could this work with dask-gateway?
Couldn't tell if this already works with dask-gateway and if it doesn't any idea of how complicated it would be to add support?
Also how does this intersect with dask-labextension support?
It doesn't today, but it could very easily if someone wanted to implement it. It's probably a couple of hours work.
The plan is to replace some of the core of the labextension with this, however, there was a little concern around this being a dask-contrib project and having a dask core project depend on it.
This has been a backburner project for me and I haven't given it the time and attention that I want. If there are folks around who could use it, give feedback and generally help out then I could definitely justify spending more time here.
I assume that refactoring labextension on this will enable a better overall experience for folks. How much of a lift is that?
We might be able to help. I'll keep it on my radar and also see if we can get the gateway support working.
How much of a lift is that?
Shouldn't be much at all. The labextension is pretty lightweight. I cribbed some code out of there for the cluster factory code here, so it should just be a case of hooking things up to this implementation. The challenge has been an organisational one of where code lives and a prioritization one on my end, but that's solvable if there is demand for it.
We might be able to help.
If you have someone who could spare a few days to look at this I'd be happy to sync up and coordinate the effort and get them up to speed.
